Strong Interaction and Electromagnetism

The basic structure of the classical electromagnetism is used as a means to study the strong interaction. The strong coupling constant and the strong field (expessed in terms of an equivalent electric field) inside the nucleon (proton or neutron) are estimated. It is also evaluated the vacuum pressure on the boundary of the nucleon. Quark confinement is briefly discussed. Simplified versions of the MIT bag model are also considered in making the present treatment

In a separate paper [1] (http://vixra.org/abs/1208.0042), the author advanced the thesis that baryons are Yang-Mills magnetic monopoles. Here, we apply the Gordon decomposition to the final results from [1] to understand what is “inside” a Yang-Mills magnetic monopole baryon. We develop a local chiral duality formalism inherent in the Dirac algebra which appears to have lain undiscovered for decades. We also discover a “vector/axial inversion” that is inherent in hadron physics rooted in Dirac’s γ5=iγ0 γ1 γ2 γ3 which may explain the observed chiral asymmetries in hadrons including the many vector and axial mesons clearly observed in phenomenological data. Finally, to define what is “inside” a baryon in experimental terms, in (5.1) we specify the form from which predicted cross sections of magnetic monopole baryons can be computed and then used to experimentally confirm the thesis that baryons are Yang-Mills magnetic monopoles.

On Whether or not Non-Gravitational Interaction Can Occur in the Absence of Gravity

The Standard Model of particle physics is built upon the implied assumption that non-gravitational interaction can occur in the absence of gravity.
This essay takes this implied assumption at face value and then considers the alternative assumption -- non-gravitational interaction {\it can't} occur in the absence of gravity.
The alternative assumption is then discussed in terms of the dark sector of the Universe.
